Spirit Of St. Louis - Rc 1/4 Scale

[@ChrisB257]

Phew - certainly tricky wind! Always thought that plane needed a bit of wing dihedral. Lovely build and super attention to detail - and the motor - well - just gorgeous. Pretty tricky conditions - handled well... big relief to see it down safe.

[@tomsvircev1716]

Beautiful plane & engine, excellent pilot! Most people can't appreciate the difficulties of flying this plane. Thanks for sharing!

[@NHfiddle]

Awesome video and model, Mr. Charles Lindberg would be proud to see his airplane fly again. Lovin' it.

[@garygullikson6349]

Realistic sounding engine. Looks like it flies like the real thing, somewhat unstable. Thanks for these great videos.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

_Thank you for your kind comments. The instability was caused by the strong wind._

[@RTD1947]

What a fantastic use of the R9 engine!! Great sound!!! Much better than a Moki, but man what a hand full!! Get a Cortex and tame that beast!!!

[@ricardofranco9946]

The most beautiful plane I ever saw. Congratulations

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thanks a lot!

[@JARico]

Amazing replica, the cross wind affect the takeoff a little. Thanks for the video.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

_Thank you for your kind comments._ Yes, the takeoff was really tricky ;)

[@SomeGuyInSandy]

What a beautiful model. Well done!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

_Thank you for your kind comment !!!_

[@locowerke]

Horst, this is a wonderful model. I followed the link below to visit the website for the engine.....amazing!! Thank you for a great, and informative video!! Cheers, Dougal

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you my friend. I'm very pleased about your kind comments. Fun Modellbau gave me all the required data. That's very kind. I would like to do another video with better weather conditions but he lives far away from me. Maybe next year. _Cheers, Horst_

[@tbobborap1]

wow awesome model horst, brave man flying in those conditions for sure, lovely scale detail also - regards pete,

[@ColeAviation]

What a BEAUTIFUL piece of history aviation! Beautiful detail to. 👍🏼 Great camera work as ALWAYS my friend! 😉👍🏼 It looks like he needs to lengthen the strut on the left side just a little bit. The wing looks pulled down a bit. 😬

[@greenseaships]

Nice job yellowing the cowling. A lot of modelers skip that.

[@kiangraham5015]

brilliant aircraft!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you very much. Unfortunately the engine did not run well and there was a heavy wind. That's why the flight was very short.

[@kiangraham5015]

+RCScaleAirplanes it was great to see it fly tho ☺

[@leonardodominguez3491]

The only thing missing is the house fly, the only companion of Charles Lindbergh when he crossed the Atlantic .

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Who knows ... Perhaps there was a housefly near to the cockpit. :) _Thank you for your kind comments. Much appreciated !!!_

[@Soulmate_1001]

Hello Christian, excellent job! Building and excellence of this model is outstanding. Flying performance looks pretty well. You know, only insiders are able to judge about your investment and skill. Best regards as well to RCScaleAirplanes find diamonds like this, Markus

[@stephensorenson-z6h]

a fabulous model,it reminds me of billy wilder's 1957 epic 'the spirit of st.louis' with james stewart as lindbergh!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you for your kind comment which I really appreciate !!!

[@michaelpeterson4348]

Absolutely beautiful job with everything !

[@stevemiller7433]

The Spirit of St Louis was inherently unstable owing to it's disproportionately short fuselage and undersized tail surfaces.... do you find the model (which is beautful, by the way) unstable as well?

[@OldIronRC]

Great motor!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thanks my friend!

[@americanspirit8932]

IT IS NOT A MOTOR IT IS A ENGINE.

[@jimsmalleimb7709]

Wow! Even sounds like the full scale plane!

[@mbpgreg]

merci pour la reproduction j'habite Toulouse

[@rc-media-world]

Immer Leckerbissen bei Dir... grossartig !!!!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Danke, aber Du kannst Dich bestimmt nicht beschweren, was Dir so alles vor die Linse fliegt ;) _LG, Horst_

[@ki65ki1]

Bonjour Horst, *Magnifique* Wahrscheinlich selten (noch nie gesehen). Zehr gute Flugkontrolle mit diesem starken Wind. Freundlichen Grüsse, Christian.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Hallo mein Freund. Ja ... es ist sehr selten und auch ich habe es noch nie zuvor gesehen. egal in welchem Maßstab. Danke für Deinen tollen Kommentar. Viele Grüße, Horst

[@kurtfrancis4621]

I also noticed that the right wheel is not turning straight and true. Hope he's corrected that. Nice model, nice flying. Needs some work on the interior, though, if he's going for accuracy.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

K Francis _Thank you for your kind comments. Yes . . . there are some modifications to do._ 😎

[@psygn0sis]

That's alotta engine for that thing!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

That's true but it fits perfectly into the plane ;)

[@victorhugomoralesferreyros1381]

Hi incredible model. in the next days i will began the construction of the Royal Spirit of St. Louis. please can you explain me the details of the motor? It´s great!. really i want to make a similar thing. Thanks a lot!. Victor

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

_Hello Victor._ All detail is mentioned in the video description. I've just added the english version. If it doesn't show up, please refersh the page. _Have a nice weekend and good luck_

[@moshe2002]

thanks for the video

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

_thanks for watching and commenting !_

[@robertgarcia4117]

From Steve. They should have a RC Spirit of Saint Louis airplane fly from New York to Paris France 🇫🇷. 🇫🇷

[@riceddy7420]

beautiful

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Thank you!

[@christiankamann3485]

trank you very much Guys for the nice coments😆.. IT was the 6th flight After construction and building it in only 150 days. IT was my dream for several years. All dimensions are scale. Also the flaps... this is why IT is a bid tricky to fly with cross winds😊... but i love it .. if you like more to see take a look at www.fun-modellbau.com. AT the bottom of the start page is an link to the discovery Chanel film. wich shows the building battel i won with IT last year.

[@gogogeedus]

you know you don't have to get on the rudder in a wind, just let the plane drift with it, the plane doesn't know its windy so just let it fly. or is it out of trim?

[@KowboyUSA]

Lindy, look! It's your plane!

[@gogogeedus]

Whats wrong with the rudder ?

[@cdhanks]

Who knew Lindberg used zip ties to stay in the cockpit?

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

_loool_

[@edgeflyer1]

Klassiker :-)

[@kurtfrancis4621]

Why is the nost painted gold? Obviously, whoever built this either didn't understand or know that the current color of the nose cowling is due to aging of the coating that was applied to it by the Smithsonian years ago. The proper color of the nose is ALUMINUM in color, with a turned finished pattern. It always disappoints me to see models that show a gold-colored nose. So sad.

[@f62darkstar]

because he chose to build it that way....if you don't like it.....build your own....SMH.

[@atomicbonds6790]

So amazing, and I love the Spirit of St. Pubis!

[@wingnutzster]

Unfortunate revving of the engine like a motorcycle and poor directional control/yaw authority - perhaps a crosswind prevailed but even so. I would have preferred to see this scale model which was so carefully and meticulously detailed to replicate the real thing also flown like the real thing, there is way way too much power and the inputs are too strong. It never ceases to puzzle me as to why builders fly their masterpiece creations like 3D or sports planes! That said I was blown away by the detailing and finish on this gorgeous bird well done!

[@userbosco]

Couldn't help but notice that looked like George W Bush in the pilot seat...but I know it couldn't be, he never flew in real life ;-b

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

_ha ha ha ... thx for the great comment :)_

[@johnneedy3164]

Aaahhhh chicken bands on piolt

[@grandpa71]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

[@TEAMERICA96]

The pilot needs to get off the right rudder. It would fly much straighter then. And quit revving the engine. It's not a race car.

[@gogogeedus]

.

[@triplanelover]

I swear more guys who can build these beauties can't fly them worth a crap....I mean, I can always tell by the way they TAXI revving the engine like a jerk, fly it like the real thing man

[@sergiopradella9919]

:-):-):-)bello

[@jameswalker3069]

I'm sure old Lindy would be appreciative of the shorter take off run. But what's that non binary language they are speaking?

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

The *"non binary language* is German ... *LOL*
